Will the social security card be cleared if it is not used?

No, the balance of social security payment is unclear, and the old-age insurance has to be paid, totaling 15 years. You can only apply for a monthly pension when you reach retirement age, but don't be alarmed if the midway pension insurance is paid off. You can renew it without recalculating the accumulated payment period.

Can the money in the social security card be withdrawn?

You can't get the money from social security. Medical insurance can be swiped at designated pharmacies or hospitals. As for old-age insurance, you can only get it after retirement. If you want to take it out, you can only surrender it. If you return it, it will only be 8% of the individual payment.

How to activate social security card

The insured must activate the social security card within half a year after receiving it, otherwise the original medical insurance card will be restricted. The activation process is:

1. The insured person needs to bring his social security card and the original identity certificate to the corresponding bank outlet to activate the social security card, and the medical insurance account will return to normal after activation;

2. Use the social security card to directly enable the social security function in the designated medical insurance hospital. When the insured person uses the social security card for the first time in a designated medical institution, he can directly activate the social security function only by handling the outpatient or inpatient registration business normally;

3. When the insured uses the social security card for the first time in the designated medical insurance pharmacy, he inserts the original medical insurance card and then inserts the social security card as required to activate the social security card.
